Update on Pirelli Canada original equipment road hazard warranty claim and handling: after 9-10 weeks and constant prompting and escalation by my dealer, Pirelli came through and refunded the full amount of the replacement of the 2200km old punctured tire. That's a bit over $1000 CAD all-in, cheque just received (Pirelli compensate/refund the dealer, the dealer then refunds me). I didn't get any sense that the ridiculous delay was due to any claim-related hesitation, only that Pirelli claim process is grossly inefficient and thus just takes a very long time to get through the bureaucracy. Not happy with delay, but happy (as essentially always) with my dealer and with Pirelli for standing behind their claims.
